This Little Wiggy - S9-E18

This Little Wiggy - S9-E18

Continuity mistake: In the scene in Ralph's bedroom the nightlight changes positions between shots. First it's far away from the doorway, then near to it, then right next to it.

Bart Gets Famous - S5-E12

Continuity mistake: When Homer is shouting at Skinner about losing Bart, if you look closely you can see that the box with the red cap goes past Homer. However, when he turns round and sees that red cap on a box, that box has already gone by.

Rosebud - S5-E4

Revealing mistake: When we see people digging Bobo out of the ice, they put him in a bag. If you look carefully you can see another Bobo put in another bag just before the shot changes.

Homer Goes to College - S5-E3

Audio problem: When Homer is talking to the family about their complaints about the nerds, he says something that ends in "where we can all live in harmony". When he says this the audio does not match his mouth movements.

The Great Money Caper - S12-E7

The Front - S4-E19

Continuity mistake: When Homer tells Bart that he didn't graduate in high school, you see a small window in the back door with a light blue sky seen through it, indicating that it is day time. However when Grandpa comes to the door, it is night time.

Continuity mistake: When the flashback of Ned and Todd Flanders singing in the Simpsons' doorway, Homer says he could use a TV tray.

Answer: Willy referred to an encounter he believed he had with actual aliens, while Wiggum thought he was referring to the arcade game.

Answer: The joke is that Willie was so addicted to Space Invaders that he believed it was reality: every time he played, he was actually defending the Earth from dangerous aliens. It's a surprise to him that it was actually a game.
